Union Pacific Named a Top 50 Employer For Hispanic Working Women

Omaha, Neb., October 28, 2005 
For the third consecutive year, Union Pacific Railroad has been selected by LATINA Style magazine as one of the LATINA Style 50 best companies for Latina employees in the United States.

The annual award is given to companies that provide sensitivity to professional Hispanic women’s needs and goals in the workplace. This is the eighth year the magazine has presented the recognition, and the report on the top 50 companies is considered the most respected survey of corporate America’s policies and practices as they pertain to professional Hispanic women. This year, more than 700 corporations were considered for the special recognition.

"We are honored LATINA Style has again named us one of the 50 best companies for Latina employees," said Barb Schaefer, senior vice president-Human Resources. "We continue to work very hard to add employees across our operating system, and this recognition supports our efforts to offer policies and programs that help us recruit and retain the best employees."

Union Pacific’s strengths include practices and policies that promote recruitment and advancement opportunities for women, employee benefits, work/life balance initiatives, mentoring and leadership training. Advertising and recruitment efforts in Hispanic media as well as Union Pacific’s three branches of its Latino Employee Network were also considered positive initiatives.
